--001a11c21b06bd339a05017214f9 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 hi folks, Has anyone yet observed migrating raptors? cheers, ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Todd Watts <fishbird@xplornet.ca> Date: Sun, Aug 24, 2014 at 10:54 PM Subject: Greenlaw Mountain Hawk Watch Report To: NATURENB@listserv.unb.ca Greenlaw Mountain Hawk Watch Counts August 24, 2014 Osprey 3 Northern Harrier 1 Sharp-shinned Hawk 3 Broad-winged Hawk 8 Total: 15 Observation Period: 8:45AM-1:00PM Weather: Hazy and warm with near calm conditions at the start followed by light and variable wind becoming south after noon. Notes: Less than ideal conditions only produced a few migrants. However, it was good to be back on the mountain and see a few hawks. Most of this day's migrating raptors were well to the north of the mountain. Resident raptors included Merlin, American Kestrel, Osprey, Broad-winged Hawk, Bald Eagle and Turkey Vulture. The skies over the watch were mostly quiet (due to near calm conditions). Richard Tarn was a volunteer observer for much of the day. Non-raptors: A few Common Nighthawk passed the watch along with a few groups of swallows and lots of dragonflies. Tomorrow: South winds through mid-week. No counts are planned. Cooler temps and more favourable winds are likely for Thursday. A flight forecast will be posted in 2 or 3 days. Volunteers will be needed. More details on today's counts, as well as, monthly totals and season totals can be found at hawkcount.org. This project takes place on private land. Please contact the project co-ordinator before visiting the site. Primary support for this project comes from the New Brunswick Wildlife Trust Fund. Additional support comes from individual donors and our volunteers.
